  • Patent number: 9571711
    Abstract: Power for an illumination device and a camera is provided from power integrated onto a data cable between a controller/computer and the light illumination device. The camera-controller/computer interface includes one of GEV with PoE, USB and CXP, where a power is provided within the data interface cable, and the distance between the camera and the controller/computer is very long. In order to avoid running multiple long cables in a production manufacturing environment, a power extraction module is incorporated into a light illuminator, in order to extract the power for the interface cable, and to generate the individual powers for the light illuminator and the camera. In cases where the interface standard does not provide integrated power, power can be injected to the cable and extracted from the light illumination module. The light illuminator may electrically and mechanically support secondary and/or supplemental light illuminators.

  • Patent number: 9509904
    Abstract: The present description provides a user programmable image capturing and processing apparatus which allows the user to load and run its own custom processing algorithms into the camera or device apparatus, does not limit the client to a specific set of factory preloaded image processing algorithms, and can utilize a wide range of image capturing means such as Ultrasound, X-ray, RF frequency, or other means of converting signals or waves to image.

  • Patent number: 9357145
    Abstract: The present description describes a method and apparatus for using a single exposure area scan interline transfer CCD imaging devices in TDI scanning mode. The user is enabled to obtain a high resolution area-scan image with very high sensitivity from a conventional interline transfer CCD imager. The user may select the number of TDI stages, and in some cases of multi-tap CCD structures, obtain a two dimensional area-scan image. Utilizing a conventional interline CCD imager for TDI scanning allows a normal image to be produced by switching the mode back and forth between TDI and conventional area scan imaging.

  • Publication number: 20150213838
    Abstract: The present description provides a novel Ethernet/IP process or network based video event recording system, which is to be embedded into any production line (conveyor belt), providing a continuous high speed loop recording with a specially designed video recording and viewing software, synchronized with the factory precision time protocol server (IEEE 1588 server), and able to store and retrieve files on or from a remote server. A web based management interface is provided for remote control, as well as to retrieve and view the recorded images and videos. The video recording system is designed to be connected to the factory network and to work seamlessly with the standard factory timing protocols and standards, as well as the standard factory programmable logic controllers.
